Requirements#

The server#

• Linux, on x86_64, aarch64, 32-bit ARM or 32-bit x86. Every Raspberry Pi works, down to a Pi 1 from 2014. The program is one static file: nothing to install beside it.
• Or Docker or Podman, on any of the same.
• Memory and processor: little. A Pi 1 serves a household of four with two tablets at about 15% of its single core through a busy evening.
• Disk: room for your notebooks and their versions, plus the search index. A backup belongs on another disk.
• An address the tablet can reach: the same home network, or HTTPS for anywhere.

The tablet#

A Supernote with Private Cloud in its settings. The Nomad is tested end to end; other models are very likely to work.

The browser#

A current Chrome, Edge, Safari or Firefox, on a computer or a phone. The app is tested in Chrome and in Safari’s engine, which every iPhone browser uses. It draws pages and searches with WebAssembly, which every current browser has.
